Creatine monohydrate has become one of the most popular ingested nutritional supplements due to its potential enhancement of athletic performance. Creatine absorption from the serum into skeletal muscle occurs through the ...

Creatine is a nutritional supplement that is used for its potential performance enhancing (ergogenic) benefits. It constitutes an important component of the immediate energy system, by which ATP is regenerated during ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 6-OXO, an aromatase
inhibitor, in a dose dependent manner on serum hormone levels and clinical safety
markers in resistance trained males. Sixteen healthy trained ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 8 weeks of curcumin and Bowellia serrata supplementation on changes in systemic inflammation and antioxidant activity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Sixteen ...

Branched chain amino acid supplements are becoming one of the more popular and well known supplements currently on the market. It is thought that branched chain amino acids support the body during resistance training by ...

The process of senescence is associated with increasing inflammation and subsequent oxidative stress in the body, both of which can exert negative health effects at local and systemic levels. Attenuation of such processes ...

Sarcopenia is defined as a loss of muscle mass and muscle strength associated with aging. Changes in muscle function can occur as early as the fourth decade of life. Evidence indicates that the calpain and ubiquitin ...

Menisci serve as shock absorbers and stabilizers in the knee. Bovine meniscus is
often used as a model for human meniscus because it is inexpensive and readily available. During experiments, the bovine menisci are usually ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 3 recovery treatments (AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill, stationary cycling, and static stretching) on physiological and psychological markers of muscle fatigue ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether participation in the Curves fitness and weight loss program and/or ingesting a commercially available glucosamine and chondroitan joint support dietary supplement improved ...

Edge effects are the responses of organisms to ecological boundaries. I studied edge responses by small mammals in two prairie communities to test two models: 1) edge responses reflect and map to simple habitat associations, ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of hind limb unweighting on
the expression of physiological markers of muscle atrophy and myofibrillar protein
content in the soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum ...

Parents often choose to homeschool their children for reasons that, if their goals are accomplished, should contribute to relatively low levels of substance use among their children. Specifically, many parents desire to ...

Sedentary, healthy, overweight women (n=40) participated in a full-body resistance training program 3 days/week. The study was performed in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled fashion. Participants followed a ...

Purpose: To determine if co-ingestion of carbohydrate (CHO) with branchedchain amino acids (BCAA) or leucine (Leu) downregulates the myostatin signaling pathway and upregulates the makers of myogenesis to a extent greater ...

Since lasers have become so powerful in dusty plasma research, it is important to determine the manner in which a laser will affect the plasma. In this work, a Verdi ™ G-Series optically pumped semiconductor laser was used ...

A single bout of resistance training is capable of activating the expression of many diverse groups of genes including myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and the myogenic regulatory factors (MRF). However, the role of ...
